I am a mid-courter and the current Vice Captain for the Queensland Firebirds in the Suncorp Super Netball. I started my career playing for the Victorian Fury in the Australian Netball League and was a training partner with the Melbourne Vixens in 2018 before being elevated into the team in 2019. I have been playing with the Firebirds since 2020 season and I am keen to share my experience with the next generation of netballers.
Originally from Victoria, I have been playing with the Queensland Firebirds since 2020. I grew up in a small country town in Gippsland, Victoria on a farm. My passion came for netball when I was first introduced to the sport at the age of 13. After playing and competing in a variety of other sports, I was greatly taken by netball and knew quite quickly this was the sport I would like to play and compete in. I had a dream and set some goals, in which I am still chasing today. I have been coaching for many years and have experience presenting/coaching and marketing a variety of sports and events, with individual athletes as well as representative squads and teams. I enjoy coaching many athletes in a variety of ways and my inspiration is to assist all children to provide them with knowledge and confidence in their abilities and to give them opportunities in their chosen sports. I started coaching 7 years ago and whilst I receive great satisfaction through teaching and coaching all ages of athletes, I take great pride in watching children grow and learn. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will continue with my passion for many years ahead.

Great session with Lara. The girls learned a lot, felt comfortable, and had a really good time. She explains things clearly and brings a calm, professional vibe. Highly recommend.
Lara was an amazing coach for my daughter. So friendly and kind and offered practical tips to help her straight away!
Lara was engaging, insightful, and incredibly generous with her time. She handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism, offering thoughtful advice that left a real impact on my daughters. We're so grateful for the opportunity - She's a true role model.
Lara was fantastic with our girls—she brought so much fun and knowledge to the experience and truly empowered them. The girls adored her and would absolutely want to work with her again!
Lara was a great coach for my 11 year old daughter’s netball team. Lara was super, fun, engaged and interested in the girls. Well done!
